Bill over at A Silly Place passed on this pondering question - where will I be this time next year? He's got some clear ideas about the inevitable and some general goals for himself this time next year. However, he generously shared the challenge with some other folks, including me. I've had to have a… Continue reading This time next year
OK, so potentially debatable opinion: I hate Zoom. Work has just switched to Zoom for conference calls and that means more video calls. I've managed to avoid them so far for the most part - himself almost always interrupts my regular Wednesday group meeting and I've started making him wave at the other participants in… Continue reading You look tired…
So a couple of months ago an exciting but scary opportunity presented itself to me at work. I'd been trundling along with the same general activities for quite a while, there are challenges and long term projects running all the time and I thought I was pretty contented. Background Earlier this year I got picked… Continue reading Exciting and scary: more progress

I haven't written a work post for a very long time. I've just been bumbling along for quite a while with no major events beyond the usual daily or weekly frustrations of my team. Anyway, a thing happened today. First, let's back up for some history. I happened to edit a particular "career path" form… Continue reading Exciting and scary
I'm kind of jumping on the bandwagon here. I've seen some cool posts from Tom, Michelle and Em lately, giving a lowdown about them using a nifty alphabetic categorization. You can see their posts here: The Doubting ThomasBoomer Eco CrusaderEchoes of Em So, I thought that I'd give it a go, not least to provide… Continue reading A to Z of Me
What with all this home learning and working and the recent spate of regular running, I've found that its really hard to fit in all the things. Add to this all the lovely kind people who are sharing extra bits and bobs that might "help" keep us occupied and I'm finding that I'm ignoring lots… Continue reading Things I don’t have time for
Ding ding ding, seconds out! We're on our own again, well sort of. As everyone suspected would be the case, English schools closed for the spring term. No, not at the end of the winter term, during the holidays, or just before reopening. No, they closed after one day of the children being back -… Continue reading Home Learning Round Two
Warning: I'm just going to dive right in here, no gentle preamble or stories about silly things the boys did. The issues around inclusion and unconscious bias (as well as just basic exclusion based on gender, race, social position, education, religion, and orientation or identity) are a bit of a bug bear for me. From… Continue reading Inclusion – a how to
After 17 weeks of staying home and safe, gradually going out a bit more, and reflecting every week on our ups and downs I've learned loads about what keeps our family ticking. Home learning has taught me at least 10 things, doubtless many more. I wanted to look back and reflect on our family's experiences:… Continue reading Staying home, staying safe in review
